I know there are lots of threads with more or less same topic but none of them covers my situation:
I have delete button that delete one item in a listView but when you close the app and reopen it the items reappears. I don't know how to fix this .
DatabaseHelper.java
public class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
public static final String DATABASE_NAME = "todo.db";
public static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;
public static final String ITEMS_TABLE = "items";
private static DatabaseHelper instance = null;
public static DatabaseHelper getInstance(Context context) {
    if(instance == null) {
        instance = new DatabaseHelper(context);
    }
    return instance;
}
private DatabaseHelper(Context context) {
    super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
}
@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
    String createQuery = "CREATE TABLE " + ITEMS_TABLE + " (" +
            "_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," +
            "description TEXT NOT NULL, " +
            "completed INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0)";
    db.execSQL(createQuery);
}
@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
    }
}
The button works fine but it does not delete permently I don't know if it is the code or if it is where I am placing it in my MainActivity if someone would please tell that would much appreciated.
